    Will you guys shut up about this?

    There are genuinely some big issues with AI that need to be addressed but they are drowned out by morons melting down over people making dumb little Ghibli style images for their own amusement.

    Shout about insurance companies using AI to auto dent people’s medical claims, not about some dude Turnjng a picture of his cat into anime style

      It is all part of the same topic, Talking about one aspect does not negate the other. Instead of dividing the issues it is nice to know a lot of us have a common foe.

        No it isn’t at all. Image to image “AI” is totally different from “AI” that denies insurance claims. Different techniques, different effects, different everything. (Not saying either are okay or not, just that they’re different.)

          Nah dude this sounds to me lile a “duvide and conquer” strategy, make us believe that the grievances of one group contend with the grievances of another, quite the scab move.

            You can believe both are bad and complain about both while acknowledging they’re separate things.

              You can also acknowledge that both need their own space; If AI used for other nefarious purposes is so important to you your time is better spent making threads about that than implying threads about other issues are less serious.

        Nah its like people critiquing the trump admin and their biggest issue not being the concentration camps, or the imperialism, or betraying allies to support Russia, general fascist behaviour etc. They make a big fuss about him being rude in his tweets.

        Like criticising that doesn’t negate the other stuff, but bring attention to the smaller mostly inconsequential stuff only serves to distract from the bigger problems.
